Notice of privacy practices
This notice describes how medical information about you may be used and DISCLOSED and how you can get access to this information. PLEASE READ THIS NOTICE CAREFULLY. Or you can download and print the information:
Uses and releases of protected health information (PHI)
Molina Healthcare of Virginia believes in protecting the privacy of your health information. We may use or disclose your Protected Health Information (PHI) only for very specific reasons. PHI is any information related to health that identifies an individual. This information can be electronic or in any other format. Different types of uses and disclosures are listed and explained below. Note: An example is not given for every use or disclosure reason.
When disclosing or using PHI, we will use the least amount of information necessary. If we need to use or release information in a way that is not generally described in this notice, we will contact you for your written permission before the proposed use or disclosure.
Types of Uses or Releases of Information
Treatment
We may use or disclose PHI about you to assist in providing treatment or services. Treatment means the provision, coordination, or management of health care and related services by one or more providers, including the following activities:
- Coordinating health care or related services by a provider with a third party
- Consultation between providers relating to a patient
- The referral of a patient from one provider to another
For example, we may use or disclose your PHI when referring you to a particular provider to receive care.
Payment
We may use and disclose your PHI so that your treatment and services may be billed and payment collected. For example, we may use or disclose your PHI to a health care provider in the course of making prior authorization determinations under your benefit coverage.
Health Care Operations
We may use or disclose PHI to carry out health care operations. Examples of health care operations include such things as:
- Activities to analyze trends relating to improving health or reducing health care costs (called population-based activities);
- Case management and coordination of health care;
- Quality assurance activities (including audits by third parties);
- Contacting providers and patients with information about other forms of treatment.
We may use or disclose your PHI for these or other activities that fall under this definition, such as preventive treatment programs or fraud detection and investigation.
Health Oversight Activities
We may disclose PHI to a health oversight agency for compliance activities authorized by law. These activities are necessary for the government to oversee the health care system, compliance of benefits programs, and compliance with civil rights laws. Disclosures may occur through audits, investigations, licensure or disciplinary actions or civil, administrative or criminal proceedings.
Information Relating to the Treatment of Minors
Information relating to the treatment of minors will be kept private according to federal and state laws. Many states allow minors, after a certain age, to receive mental health and/or substance abuse treatment without permission from their parents. We follow all applicable laws that apply to the confidentiality of treatment for minors.
Information Pertaining to Certain Types of Treatment/Services
Information pertaining to treatment or services for some sensitive conditions, such as substance abuse, mental health, and HIV, may be subject to more restrictive privacy protections under state or federal law. Uses and disclosures of such information may be limited or prohibited by such laws in your state. For more information about these kinds of federal and state law restrictions and how they may apply to our uses and disclosures of certain PHI, please contact our Privacy Officer as noted at the end of this document.
Health Related Benefits or Services
On occasion, we may use or disclose PHI for preventive treatment reasons. Our preventive programs meet nationally recognized quality and preventive health standards.
Lawsuits and Disputes
We may disclose PHI in response to a subpoena or court order. We may also disclose PHI in response to legal cases that directly involve your health plan or us. All other disclosures for lawsuits or investigations will be made only with your written permission.
Appointment Reminders
We may use or disclose PHI to remind you of upcoming appointments for treatment or medical care or other services which pertain to you.
Treatment Alternatives
We may use or disclose PHI to let you know about other types of treatment that may be of interest to you. All such communications are handled in a manner that protects your privacy.
Release of Information to Family Members
In an emergency, or if you are not able to provide permission, we may disclose limited information about your general condition or location to someone who is directly involved in your care or the payment of your care, or who can make health care decisions on your behalf.
Release of Information to the Armed Forces
If you are or were previously a member of the armed forces, we will disclose your PHI to the armed forces as required by law. We may also disclose information as required by our contract with your armed forces health insurer. We will only release the minimum amount of information needed to carry out the purpose of the use or disclosure.
Release of Information to Workers Compensation or Similar Programs
We will not disclose PHI to workers compensation programs or other similar types of programs without your signed permission.
As Required or Permitted by Law for Public Safety
We will disclose PHI when required or permitted to do so by law for public safety. Disclosures may be made to protect you from a serious threat to your health or safety or to protect the health or safety of another person. Disclosures may also be made when requested by federal officials for national security or intelligence activities or for the protection of public officials. We will only release the minimum amount of information needed and will follow specific legal guidelines.
Government Security Clearances
We may disclose PHI when required by law for government security clearances. We will only release the minimum amount of information needed for the clearance.
Public Health Risks
We may disclose PHI as authorized or required by law for public health activities. This includes reporting child abuse or neglect, adult abuse, unfavorable events, or product defect reporting.
Inmates
If you are an inmate or are in the custody of law enforcement, we may disclose your PHI without your permission. We will only do this for your health care, for the health and safety of you or others, or the safety of, or further law enforcement on the property of the correctional facility.
Psychotherapy Notes
We rarely ask for psychotherapy notes and do not disclose psychotherapy notes to any outside parties. Psychotherapy notes are defined as notes recorded by a mental health professional that consist of the written record or evaluation of the contents of a conversation during a private counseling session or a group, joint, or family counseling session. These notes must be maintained separately from the rest of the individual’s mental health/medical record. In the rare event that we do request psychotherapy notes, it will be only with your written permission.
Genetic Information
We are prohibited by law to use or disclose your genetic information for underwriting purposes.
Other Uses and Disclosures
Other uses and disclosures, including for marketing purposes or that constitute the sale of PHI, will be made only with your written permission. You are permitted to discontinue such authorization at any time in writing. Requests to discontinue permission to release information will be honored except when we have already taken action based on your permission to use or disclose the information.

In the case that we use or maintain an electronic health record with respect to your PHI that is part of the designated record set, you have a right to obtain your copy in electronic format.
